"You know, in an eerie way, this is kinda beautiful..." Tanzi commentated, looking out the window.
"Suure." Trent said, rolling his eyes. "We all love to see dead bodies and zombies running around cities. You know, you are one fucked up girl." He slammed his foot on the accelerator pedal, smashing into a pair of zombies. "And that's coming from me."
"So."Tanzi said defensively. "I have witnessed so many of my friends die, and I have even had visions, so I think I'm allowed some relief, right?"
"Oh yes, these infamous 'visions'." Trent said, looking behind him to face Tanzi. "Someone sees a group of people, save's 'em, but they die one by one. Load of bullcrap to me my friends."
"It's not 'Bullcrap'." Leslie said. "We are the only survivors!" He looked to Paige and Zach, who nodded.
"If you don't believe, then that's your problem." Paige said.
"But we ARE living proof sitting right in this car." Zach said, staring at Trent, who nodded sarcastically and faced the windscreen again, to shout out.
"SHIT!" The car smashed straight into a black fence of some sort, crumbling the bonnet and causing the passengers to jump forward, but were held back by their seatbelts. Trent, who wasn't wearing his flew straight through the windshield with a grunt, his head smashing against the glass. His upper body was lying on the bonnet, while his lower body was still inside the car.
"Trent?" Paige asked, holding him stomach as the seatbelt had dug into it. "Trent?" she repeated, looking to the front and gasped. Trent wasn't moving. "Fuck..." Paige hung her head, which the others took that Trent was dead. Secretly, Paige saw his chest move slightly, but she wasn't about to say anything about that.
"Come on." Leslie said, climbing out of the door and helping Tanzi out. "We should go before the zombie's come here." Zach and Paige got out of the car, and the group of four looked around. "Where are we?"
"Emporium College." Tanzi said.
"How'd you know that?" Leslie asked staring at the large building with multiple windows and two large wooden doors at the front. A path extended from the front door to the gate a few meters where the fence was, and on the gate was the words 'Emporium College - Vita est Eruditio'. "Ah..." Leslie felt like a fool while Tanzi sniggered.
"We wanted to get here anyway, so let's go in." Paige said, walking to the gate and opening it. It gave off a loud screeching noise, which could be heard for kilometres around the city.
"Fuck..." Zach cursed as they heard screeching of a different kind. "FUCK!" he repeated, seeing the zombies running from all directions. "Let's go!" He started to run for the school doors, followed closely by Tanzi.
"What about him?" Leslie asked pointing at Trent, looking nervously at the rapidly approaching zombies.
"Leave him. He's dead anyway." Paige said, following Tanzi and Zach.
Leslie took one last look at Trent's motionless body, and took off. At that moment, Trent raised a hand weakly, before clenching his fist more strongly in anger. "Bastards..." he whispered, before moving himself into the car as the zombies surrounded him.
Kicking the wooden door open, Zach burst into the polished hallways of the college and paused to look behind him. Paige and Tanzi ran past him and stopped, but Leslie was still by the gate, fiddling with something. "Hey! Leslie, get your ass over here!"
Finishing what he was doing, Leslie turned back and ran towards the door, slamming them behind him and locking it.
"What were you doing with that gate?" Tanzi asked curiously.
"Locking it so they can't get at us. So, unless they can climb, we're safe for now." Leslie explained as they walked up the polished corridor. But now the group looked closely, they could see blood stains all across the floors and wall, and when Tanzi looked into a classroom, she saw a rotting carcass sitting at a desk.
"Jesus, they even attack the teenagers. The people here are only eighteen and over here." Zach said with a shake of his head.
Tanzi was just about to say something when she screamed, a plain door to her left bursting open and knocking her to the floor. The zombie in a janitor's uniform clung onto her ripping at her flesh. Tanzi tried to fight it, and just when the dirty and rotten teeth were about to latch around her neck, Leslie kicked him off, the shadows flinging over his dark eye socket. It hissed and spat, jumping at Leslie who ducked, sending the zombie flying over him. Leslie took his hat off and threw it at the zombie, which just passed by, but the hat had done its job. The zombie was distracted. Leslie quickly moved over to it as it was about to run, and slammed it's head on the wooden floor. It hissed and tried to get up but Leslie slammed its head down on the floor again, and again, and again. The head was crushed under Leslie's strength and blood seeped on the floor and spread all over Leslie's clothes. "Thanks for helping us guys." Leslie said sarcastically, helping Tanzi from the floor.
"Thanks... you saved my life again..." she whispered, holding onto his arm.
"Don't worry about it. What sort of friend would I be if I didn't save you?" he said, grinning weakly. He turned to Paige and Zach again. "Well?"
"What? You looked like you were handling it well." Paige said nastily, turning the corner. Zach looked at Leslie in apology and followed Paige.
"What is with her attitude?" he asked Tanzi, before following them. Suddenly screams were heard, drawing the group's attention to one of the classrooms.
Trent weakly climbed up the fence, dropping down hard onto the grassy floor on the other side. He coughed up blood, which fell on his face. His clothes were ripped and his bandana missing, but he wasn't bitten. 'I must be one lucky son of a bitch.' He thought, as hands reached through the bars of the fence towards him. Trent rolled sideways out of the zombies reach, and stood up, holding his arm which had a large cut on from the spiked tops of the fence. "You fuckers..." he muttered, holding the knife that Leslie had left in his right hand. "I'm fucking coming to get you!"
